This series will offer alter(native) perspectives on how some of Jung’s ideas (mis)represented native cultures; the notion of the ‘primitive,’ participation mystique, and the trickster, to name a few. We will explore the complexities of working cross-culturally, review two psychic paradigms: dominion and reciprocity, as important differences between Indigenous and Western cosmologies. Participants will be introduced to the Menominee Origin story which will guide our discussion of ‘spirit beings’, borderland consciousness, and transspecies psyche. We will view native artists’ works that illustrate and embody the spirit of transformation.
